The Dallas Morning News reports that the statue was built with the addition of 4,000 specially imported yellow blocks from Nowitzki’s native Germany.

The model that was built by master Lego artisan Cal Walsh includes everything from his scraggly goatee to some embellished muscles.

It took Walsh about 20 hours to create his “Maverick masterpiece.” The Lego Dirk is steel-rod reinforced and is outfitted in a royal-blue Mavericks’ uniform that was rigged with a zipper to make it easy to get on and off the figure without having to take arms and/or legs apart.

The News reports that every part of Nowitzki’s body is a complete Lego block, with no cutting of pieces was needed.

The statue isn’t absolutely the Nowitzki we saw during the NBA Finals. Missing is his splint that protected his injured middle finger during the Miami series.

But it still kind of looks like “The Big German,” as his teammates call him.
